Reporter:
Numerous volunteers from the nongovernmental organization are providing protection for refugees 24 hours a day. On winter days, they have more work to do.
1:21-1:38
Daniel Pejković:
“This weather favors development of respiratory infections, and that’s something they get very often. Other than that, we had multiple frostbite cases. Some of those cases were 2 to 3-year-old children.”
1:38-1:46
“We also had cases of refugees that have scabies, refugees that have body lice. Skin diseases are very common; that’s something we see throughout the whole year.”
